Resumo: | The article presents past and present efforts to address Carnival as an artistic and curatorial object, discusses attending discourses that support these efforts and offers this author's own contribution to the debate and practice of Carnival as a scholar and curator. While "Curating Carnival" attends to Carnival in the Caribbean and its European and American diasporas, with particular attention paid to the Trinidad Carnival model or mas', and the legacy of Peter Minshall's work or roadworks, it ultimately addresses general concerns about the construction of so-called performance art as a Eurocentric concept within the context of contemporary art and of contemporary Caribbean art as a predominantly visual arts field, both of which, performance art within mainstream contemporary art, and contemporary Caribbean art, fail to recognize the potency and currency of Carnival and other related vernacular performance practices as art forms. "Curating Carnival" also puts curating under scrutiny and advocates for an experimental approach to the object of Carnival with the procession as an alternative curatorial medium. |

Embora aborde o carnaval no Caribe e suas diásporas europeia e americana, com foco no modelo do carnaval de Trinidad (o mas') e no legado do trabalho de Peter Minshall e no conceito de roadwork (obra de rua) de Christopher Cozier, trata, em última instância, das preocupações gerais sobre a construção da chamada arte performática como conceito eurocêntrico no contexto da arte contemporânea geral e caribenha especificamente, ambas de predomínio visual, falhando em reconhecer a potência e a circulação do carnaval e outras práticas performáticas vernaculares como formas de arte. Coloca ainda a curadoria em discussão e advoga em favor de uma abordagem experimental relativamente ao objeto do carnaval com as procissões como meio curatorial alternativo.Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro2011-11-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/tecap/article/view/1033010.12957/tecap.2011.10330Textos Escolhidos de Cultura e Arte Populares; v. 8 n. 2 (2011): TECAP 8.21981-99351980-3281reponame:Textos escolhidos de cultura e arte populares (Online)instname:Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ)instacron:UERJporhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/tecap/article/view/10330/8117Tancons, Claireinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2015-01-29T18:12:21Zoai:ojs.www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br:article/10330Revistahttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/index.php/tecapPUBhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/index.php/tecap/oaippeuerj@eduerj.uerj.br || felipeferreirario@gmail.com1981-99351980-3281opendoar:2024-05-17T13:38:44.596882Textos escolhidos de cultura e arte populares (Online) - Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ)true |
